I made my first post on this blog in July of 2013. Now, more than 5 years later, it’s come to its end.

As with seemingly every other mature-oriented artist on this platform, Tumblr has made it abundantly clear that they no longer welcome me, my content, or the traffic that I bring to them. That said, as of today, December 16th, 2018, I am removing all of my content and distributing it elsewhere. You can continue to find me and my work in these places: PATREON: http://patreon.com/fusspot PILLOWFORT: http://pillowfort.io/smutpot TWITTER: http://twitter.com/smertpert NEWGROUNDS: http://smutpot.newgrounds.com MASTODON: https://artalley.porn/@smutpot

I’ll update these links as I shift around, but until then, I’m out.

Thanks for everything, guys. I’m sorry that Tumblr had to go and throw a wrench in it all.

Some more Wildstar.  I forget how much art was made for this game.  I think if we measured it in craptons, there would be about 14.2 bajillion.  I invented that nonsense alien alphabet to get around localizing text for other countries.  Sidestepped that headache.

A smaller, less grandiose giveaway than the 5k giveaway, but I wanted to do one anyway!

Rules: -Likes are awesome, but only Reblogs will be counted. Multiple reblogs will count multiple times! Do NOT spam reblog, however. It is annoying to everyone involved. -You must be following this blog at the time of winner selection! -No giveaway blogs! I will be checking! - One winner will be selected via Random.Org on October 20th

-The winner will get a Full Colored Waistup -I will message the winner as well as announce them on the blog! After 2 days, if I get no response, I will select another! -This prize can be OCs, fan characters, whatever (just not IRL people, please!)

So follow, reblog, and good luck, friendos!

Today’s Boss Rush! Thanks again, all!

A conversation between a Raven and a Snowy Owl.

more stuff on becausebirds.com

[rotifers]

It looks like the raven really wants the owl to leave and is trying to intimidate it, but the owl doesn’t care because it knows the raven is all bark and no bite. Or all squawk and no peck. Erm…

[revereche-deactivated20140508]

Actually, it looks more like the raven is curious about the funny bird and wants to sit next to it, and the owl doesn’t wanna be friends :[ The raven’s body language isn’t aggressive at all — it’s backing down appropriately when the owl displays aggression. Notice the way it’s careful to draw back every time it gets too close to the owl. This is an animal that’s trying to establish it isn’t a threat.

Keep in mind there’s a huge intellect disparity here — ravens exhibit novel tool use and complex communication, whereas owls aren’t even as smart as ducks. We’re sort of trained to view crows and ravens as villainous, but really they’re very playful animals.

“HI YOU’RE PRETTY WANNA BE FRIENDS??”

“HISSS”

[ask-ickle-mod]

This is so cute ‘cause I can imagine the crow being the talkative, friendly one and he’s just like “hi gosh wow you’re pretty I’ve never seen a white crow before! How’d ya get your feathers so white? Do you eat a lot of marshmallows? I eat a lot of marshmallows! This human lady feeds me marshmallows–” and on and on and the owl’s probably just like “What no go away”

[thecolorsofwater]

This is adorable

My whole childhood just got ruined by that “owls aren’t even as smart as ducks”

Work from the boss rush today. Thanks again, Molotovchicken, Dalladon and Geneticghost!

(I totally traced the hell out of that Falkron hoverboard because there was no other way to do it justice in 45 minutes.)

[molotovchicken]

Fusspot went above and beyond my vague requests for two of these.

Last of the smols, though Joven is not-so-smol by @gazimoff’s request.

Have a funny, unplanned clip while I work on a new video. ^^

Shots from yesterday’s Boss Rush! Thank you again, everyone!

[molotovchicken]

I said I was going to gush and I’ve had a few drinks because Eurovision so buckle up!

First one here is my girl Aurelia at about 6-years-old and I stand in awe of how Fusspot turned my four lines of garbled description into something so perfect and right.  All the things I adore in no particular order. 

Fusspot’s wonderful understanding of clothing and costume design for a game where adults get very little in the way of casual clothing and children don’t even appear.

Her little shoes ohmygod.

The socks, the differences between the real sock with the button eyes and heel for a lower jaw and the idealized Henson-like Geistsock with its googlies and more complete mouth.

The exaggerated darning stitches on what is essentially a daydream creature. I love that it looks like she tried to stitch it together from bits of her ability, it’s solidified the idea that the RP version is probably a mottle of blue and yellow without any real distinction between Esper offensive and healing spell colours. I need to give Geistsock a proper name now.

The idea that in the twenty-years between this picture and the Garden Walk/Hey Nice Dagan picture that Fusspot did for us, that Aurelia hasn’t changed the way she wears her hair…I relate and love so much.  Also, this partly explains the spork incident.

Her scraped knee and elbow, it was/is a nice little reminder that as a child she did normal outdoorsy things. Aurelia was originally a bit of a homebody when I rolled the character, it took significant IC effort to get her to move beyond that comfort zone.

The sparkles!

I may write more and tags when I’ve had some sleep.

Oh hey! A reference to Kate Beaton’s comic strip ‘Rogue gets in Trouble’ in ‘Hark! A Vagrant!’ style.

So what’s a Boss Rush?

Every week I’ll be devoting part of my Friday stream to doing a series of rapid-fire sketches. This is mostly just to keep my rent paid and my fridge stocked while I continue to chip away at backlogged commissions.

How much does it cost? $30 will get you one slot, which equates to 30 minutes on the clock. (I use Neil Cicierega’s Work timer with a 1-second timeout to keep track of how long I take) I may come in a little bit over that 45 minutes depending on how much detail there is, but you will always get at least 30 minutes of work, no matter what.

Payment is accepted via PayPal only.

How do I get one? Just fill out the form, which you can find HERE. Please allow up to 12 hours for me to respond, at which point I will confirm your slot and issue an invoice.

Can I order more than one? You can order up to two characters in one image, though it will count for two slots and cost $60, but that will get you 90 minutes of my time. You may order multiple images, but I ask that you submit one inquiry for each image.

I just want a bust. Can I get a discount?  No, sorry. I use the full 45 minutes to produce as complete of an image as I can. If you want a bust, that’s fine. I’ll just put more detail into it than I can a full body, but the price remains the same.

Can I get mine colored? Not during the stream, sorry. But you can buy an upgrade to have it colored at a later time!

Where will you stream them? http://twitch.tv/fusspot - As such, all Boss Rush sketches I take must be SFW!

Other guidelines and an FAQ can be found on the form itself. Thanks for reading!
